"The dean of arts informed me today that due to decisions made in the budget process the university has cut the budget for the WGST program next year," Hamilton wrote.

"This means that, currently, there are no plans to offer any WGST credits toward their minor."

Tasia Alexopoulos, the program's sole professor, tells the Huffington Post Canada that not having a budget for next year basically does away with the program.

"It's cutting the program without taking responsibility for the decision," she wrote in an email. "I've also had students tell me that they came to Mount Allison because of programs like WGST, and many came specifically because we have the WGST minor. Several students have indicated that if they cannot complete the minor, they will transfer universities."
